Behind the numbers: Among all Americans hamburgers are the patriotic choice, backed by 35%, and are the top pick regardless of income level and gender (though women cite hot dogs and hamburgers at almost the same rate 31 percent vs. 32 percent).

Beer polled better among millennials (12%), non-voters (13%) and people in New England (17%).

A sheet cake literally in the shape of our nation's flag trailed both waterlemon and bbq as a patriotic food.

Apple pie was dead last, picked by only 1% as the most patriotic food, but possibly because nobody wants to eat pie at a cookout.
